“We Shall Wear Midnight” is the final track from Wintersmith, a collaborative effort between Steeleye Span and acclaimed author Terry Pratchett. The entire album is about events and concepts explored in the Tiffany Aching sub-series within Discworld.
This song in particular is written from the per...
You made me older than my years
I am young and barely grown
And when I cry, I cry your tears
For I have no life of my own
Why don't you write me some candlelight
And wear your heart of gold?
And I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years
''Til one day I shall wear midnight
And if you should scream from your darkest dream
And in a whisper you'll hear me call?
And for a while I'll be sweet sixteen
And I'll have no power at all
Why don't you write me a moonlight night
And wear your finest hour
And I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years
Til one day I shall wear midnight
I am young, you are old
But not heartless and cold
I am warm from the love that you have shown
But you conjured me up
From your hat full of dreams
And you keep me in a world of your own
Why don't you write me a guiding light
And wear your heart's desire?
And I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years
Why don’t you write me a guiding light and wear your heart’s desire
And I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years, ‘til one day
I shall wear midnight
And when you lay down on your final word
It will be no comfort to me
I have lived by the pen and I’ll die by the sword
When it’s time to set me free
Why don’t you write me a gallant knight and wear your honour and sword
And I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years, ‘til one day
I shall wear midnight
One day I shall wear midnight
‘Til one day we shall wear midnight
